THE CORP OF DISCOVERY 1803-1806
Capt. Lewis

September 11th 1803 ... observed a number of squirrels swiming the Ohio... I made my dog take as many each day as I had occation for, they wer fat and I thought them when fryed a pleasent food... many of these squirrils wer black, they swim very light on the water and make pretty good speed... my dog was of the newfoundland breed very active strong and docile, he would take the squirel in the water kill them and swiming bring them in his mouth to the boat...

November 16 1803 ....one of the Shawnees a respectable looking Indian offered me three beverskins for my dog with which he appeared much pleased, the dog was of the newfoundland breed one that I prised much for his docility and qualifications generally for my journey and of course there was no bargan, I had given 20$ for this dogg myself...

May 5, 1805 ...The party killed two Elk and a Buffaloe today, and my dog caught a goat, which he overtook by superior fleetness

May 19, 1805 ...one of the party wounded a beaver, and my dog as usual swam in to catch it; the beaver bit him through the hind leg and cut the artery; it was with great difficulty that I could stop the blood; I fear it will yet prove fatal to him.....

June 27, 1805 ...a bear came within thirty yards of our camp last night and eat up about thirty weight of buffaloe suit which was hanging on a pole. my dog seems to be in a constant state of alarm with these bear and keeps barking all night.
